Can I change my Car or Driver info?

Yes you can, however changing either of these will occur a $30 admin fee. To change any info on your entry form, please reply to your confirmed competitor email with all the updated info.

I’ve just entered online, what happens next?

After you enter online, your entry takes a few days to be processed by our staff. Once it’s been processed and paid for, we will send out a confirmation email detailing everything you need to know. Please keep an eye on your email, including Junk Folder as they can often end up there.

I haven’t received a confirmation email yet, what should I do?

First of all, check your junk mail. Sometimes this gets mistakenly sent to your junk mail folder. Still nothing? Check to see if your name is on the Confirmed Entrant list. If it's there, simply take a note of your Confirmed Entrant Number and bring that along to registration, along with your Drivers Licence and you will be good to go. All other info can be found online.

Can I leave the venue and come back?

While GTR Festival operates on a fairly strict no passouts rule, there are a few exceptions.

If you've hired an apartment, you will be able to get a limited amount of passout wristbands for spectators to come and go between your apartment and the track. These are only available for people staying at the apartments. If you're taking your car out of the venue to your apartment, you can only do so after lunch.

Drivers wristbands will allow you to leave the venue and come back if you need fuel etc. You will be able to leave after midday. It's one way traffic into the venue (except in an emergency) during the morning. This is for drivers with a valid wristband only.

Other then that, there are no passouts for passengers and spectators.

What happens if I've entered but I'm unable to attend?

If you decide you can’t make it to the event, simply reply to your Confirmed Entrant email at least 2 weeks prior to the event and we’ll refund your entry fee less an administration fee of $30.

If bought a few mates along. How can they be a passenger?

Simply visit the registration desk on the day, fill out an indemnity form and purchase a passenger wristband for a gold coin donation. Your donation will be going towards charity. This will let you as a passenger in any vehicle, for the day you purchsed the wristband. If you are under 16 years old, you will need a parent or caregiver to sign for you.

Passengers are only allowed in the DYM (Drive Your Mates) Session.

What’s the deal with wristbands? Can I take them off?

All drivers/passengers are required to wear the correct wristband given to them at Drivers Briefing. You mustn’t remove the wristband or tamper with it in any way. If you are spotted with damaged or tampered wristband, these will be removed and you will need to purchase a replacement if you wish to stay in the event. Wristbands are waterproof and hardwearing.
